Detailed Product Description

This Cardone power steering pump (part number 20-7255) features an aluminum housing for strength and corrosion resistance. It is designed with a hose barb inlet attachment and a threaded outlet (16x1.5 thread size) sealed with an O-ring to ensure leak-free operation.

The press-on pulley attachment type requires careful alignment during installation. This remanufactured pump is engineered to restore proper steering assist and reduce steering effort in compatible Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models.
